Fated To The Alpha

Fated To The Alpha by Jessica Hall Chapter 171

Andrei POV

The storm was huge, luckily Mathias was able  to get in and back safely to take blood samples from Jonah, though Mathias had said it would be helpful if Jonah knew his last name. Derrick also came back over night and both he and I were heading up the mountain today to find the cave Jonah was in to see if there are any personal belongings with a last name on it.

“Are you sure you will be alright on your own?” I ask Sage when we hear a knock on the door. “It’s open” I call out to whoever was at the door.

“Yeah I was  going over to see Nora and Zane today” Sage says and I nod when she looks over my shoulder and smiles.

“Ready Son?” My father asks just as his scent hits me.

“Yeah, did you get the map off Nora?” He rummages in his pocket pulling it out and I turn walking over to him as he places it on the table.

“ She thinks around here is where they found him, there is a trail we can follow here” He tells me pointing out the trail which I have come across before while hunting, it actually wasn’t far from where I used to go with my father when I was a kid about a 30 minutes walk higher up the mountain. My stomach twists with that thought knowing I could have been so close to Jonah and never realised he was in a cave by himself..

I grab my bag tossing it over my shoulder and my father grabs his.

“We should be back by dark” I tell Sage, pecking her lips quickly. Walking outside, I see a group of my warriors assessing the tree that had fallen through the roof of a house. Chainsaws in hands as they figured the best approach to remove it without damaging the structure of the house anymore than it already is.

Walking over to my car, I unlock it when Jonah rushes over and I groan. My father chuckles at my reaction to the small boy, his green eyes lighting up as he sweeps his hair from his eyes. “He can’t be that bad, he is a kid” my father says, clapping his hand on my shoulder.

“I would not be surprised if the blood results come back and say he is the spawn of Dennis the menace” I tell him.

“Mr Andrei, Mr Andrei” Jonah says, waves enthusiastically drawing everyone’s attention to him.

“What Jonah?” I ask, tossing my bag on the backseat.

“Are you leaving and who are you?” Jonah asks, looking at my father, I watch as he sniffs the air, his little brows pinching together at our similar scents.

“He is my father and yes, I am very busy. Now go play or something, something that is away from me, Maybe go harass Sage she is inside” I tell him when I hear yelling before a loud crash. I look over at the house to see they knocked the tree down off the roof with the digger.

“Oh shit” My father says, while jogging over. I rush over to everyone frantically trying to lift the tree. Hearing groaning, I notice Clay trapped on the ground pinned by the tree and a branch caught across his stomach pinning him down, luckily the branch was only pinning him and he wasn’t crushed by the ginormous trunk..

“How the hell did that happen, are you good?” I ask Clay. He holds his thumbs up, he just appeared to be trapped, not actually injured.

Everyone was trying to lift the tree off him and I facepalm myself at their idiocy.

“What are you idiots doing?”

“Trying to help lift the tree, ” Casen says and my father laughs beside me. As the four warriors try hauling the tree up.

“I swear you fools only have one brain cell between the lot of yas” I mutter.

“Help us Alpha” Casen says and I shake my head. Pointing next to his feet.

“What is that?” I ask him and he looks down next to him before looking at me like I was the idiot. “A chainsaw Alpha”

“Exactly bravo, why are you trying to lift the entire tree when you could just cut the branch off that’s trapping him” I ask and they all look at each other. Thank god I depend on them for their fighting skills not their brains.

“Why didn’t we think of that?” I hear Vince mutter before picking it up.

“No, no wait, please, don’t let them do it they will probably cut me in half” Clay says looking at me horrified as Vince approaches him with chainsaw.

“Good point, Malik” I yell out. I hear a door open and slam before hearing jogging coming from behind me. I point to Clay. “Cut the idiot free that decided it would be a good idea to stand under a falling tree” I tell him and he nods before looking at Clay before mouthing what the f*ck.
